  • Title: Posterior mitral leaflet plication for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Varma PK, Krishna N, Ahamed H, Madassery S.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2018 Jun; 26(5):400-403. PubMed ID: 29667903.
    Abstract:
    Anomalies of the mitral valve apparatus in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are an important cause of systolic anterior motion. Patients with significant residual obstruction due to systolic anterior motion after myectomy and anterior mitral leaflet plication may end up having mitral valve replacement. We describe the case of a 52-year-old man who underwent posterior mitral leaflet plication to correct residual systolic anterior motion after anterior mitral leaflet plication.
